Vertonghen: Tottenham's 7-2 defeat by Bayern is embarrassing, we've let everyone down

Spurs let slip a one-goal lead on Tuesday night, with the German champions taking full advantage to administer a record defeat

Jan Vertonghen says Tottenham’s players will have sleepless nights after their “embarrassing” 7-2 home defeat to Bayern Munich.

Spurs took a 12th-minute lead through Heung-Min Son in Tuesday’s Champions League group match but Bayern went on to score with seven of their 10 shots on target as ex-Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry netted four times in the second half on his return to north London.

It is the first time Tottenham have ever conceded seven goals in a home match in any major competition.
